4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered, Bryan Kohberger Arrested, Moscow, Nov 2022 #96

Are you thinking about attending the trial? I think it'll be overwhelming.

I'm thinking about it...I thought about attending both Chad and Lori Vallow Daybell's too. But then there is my job, the traffic and the getting out of bed too early that makes me say no...

ETA..I so hope the judge allows cameras though!

I do not think the jurors here will actually be any more "favorable"to Mr. K. IMO.

Trial Date. Judge H.

From post by @arielilane (TYVM) noting, per Jordan Smith on KXLY ----
"As it stands today, the trial will begin on June 2, 2025."
Jordan wisely acknowledged possible rescheduling.

Judge H. was appointed by the Gov'r in 2013 & was last elected in May 2022.
H's CURRENT term ends Jan 4, 2027 so cumulatively w/be ~13 yrs on the bench at end of 2026.
In 2026 will he run again or be ready to hang up his robe?

If this judge does not run for reelection but is to preside over BK's trial, the 3 MONTH (<<< predicted length) trial must BEGIN by approx'ly. when?
To avoid Thxgiving & Christmas distractions (my assumption: those holidays would be considered in scheduling, but ICBWrong) maybe Aug. 2026 at the latest?

Could pretrial proceedings continue sooo long that if Judge H. does not run again that a THIRD JUDGE would preside over BK's trial? Not a happy thought.

What other issues could be raised in motions & hearings that could result in any significant delays?

Ada County Jail Inmate Meals?

This is a bit surprising: Ada County Jail serves vegan meals to everyone:

@Balthazar Thx for your post w vid re Ada County Jail meal programs.

Interesting and a bit surprising to me too, so I watched vid w closed captions & read the Transcript on youtube.
Per below, Sheriff's office did not change to vegan meals for ALL inmates there, but changed to vegan meals for the inmates opting for VEGETARIAN meals.

Seems BK should be satisfied that he will continue getting vegan meals as he has received in Latah County. Well, unless he learns the cookware has previously been used to prepare meat & dairy ingredients. (a slight edit here)

Transcript for 26 sec. vid posted on youtube Feb 22, 2023:

"New dietary restrictions are
coming to inmates in the ADA
County Jail starting March 6th.
They County Sheriff's Office
says inmates currently getting
vegetarian meals will be switched
over to a vegan meal program.
Sheriff's Office says the move is
to reduce the amount of training
needed for their kitchen crew and
the amount of daily meal prep.
Dairy items will be replaced with
plant based food items and the
Sheriff's Office says program
is going to meet all state and
federal nutritional guidelines."

Idaho Judicial Cases of Interest

 

[arielilane]

I am glad Judge Judge is off the case. He was in over his head. He appeared calm at times but most of the time you could see he wanted out of his courtroom away from the case. His head was spinning... Her voice was like nails on a chalk board. Speculation.

Great that he got out and hopeful that the case can now move along more smoothly. It takes a strong person to realize their limits and he did just that and did the right thing.

I dont think he could handle a certain defense attorney who will be unnamed but her initials are AT.

While I dont agree with the change of venue it had to happen, supposedly. BK (again, supposedly) committed a crime in Latah County and that is where the trial should have been held. However, going forward hoping that the new judge will take control of his courtroom and not give up control to the defense. Once you give up that control, you can't get it back. Just ask, Judge J.

This is only an opinion and my thoughts.
